Bonus plants

The whole yard was a mess when we moved in. Two years ago I finally conquered the back corner where these roses are. They had been covered over by all kinds of junk. I mulched the whole area, and thinned out the junky weeds. Last year these little roses said, "thank you." This year they screamed it. I may have to go back in here and thin them down. The aroma, though, is divine.

There are a few of these toadstools in the mulched area of the back yard. This area is more open and tree-shaded. There are a couple of these at the moment, but I could see more ready to pop through the mulch.

Just a few feet away are these, next to a dead limb. I'm not sure what prompted their development, but they seem to like where they are!
